Material characteristics and sample inspection requirements are the single most important factors when choosing a materialographic solution. Struers develops 1,000 new methods every year, most of them as a single customer service. We continously add extracts to our methods database.

THE GEAR CHALLENGE

Learn how to prepare and test surface hardening on heat-treated helical gears using an automated and reproducible process.

Solution

Using highly-automated equipment and special clamping methods for cutting, it is possible to avoid pinching of the cut-off wheel and conduct a successive hardness tests on even the most difficult gear surfaces in a process consisting of:

Cutting with a Axitom-5 using special clamping methods

Grinding and polishing with an AbraPol-30 in 4 automated steps using a specific selected sequence of surfaces

A fully automated CHD-measurement of 15 indentations with Duramin-40AC1
